Java Stations replace PC's 'A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step'... only a few million more before they become remotely relevant. Why do you think that Wyse dropped java terminal plans from their product line?

I am underwhelmed, and what was missing was what Sun had to do to price their systems below whatever the PC vendor(s) were offering. If you believe this isn't just a puff-piece off the PC of some PR firm copywriter, you also believe in the viability of the aerodynamics of large, porcine barnyard animals. It could be more accurately depicted as "PC vendor surprised by SUN corporate shot across the bow; Java-based system implemented at little or no cost to small library."
